My 2-year-old niece was drawn to this over and over again, but somehow it didn’t sustain her to ever finish. Her language is exploding now, and she caught onto how the images contradict the character’s declaration of what he can do all by himself. We had some good moments, and this is a solid book, just not exceptional.

Bonnie G. Aw! My 23-year-old loved this when he was a toddler. Glad you are getting to read with the kids! It is the best,


Jennifer Welsh I thought it was so cute, that’s why I bought it. I’m wondering if it’ll work better when Jane is 3?

Too many years, I cannot recall exactly how old he was when we read this. Definitely preschool though, he was done with the Goldenbooks once he started reading fluently and independently which was about 4 for E (he was an early reader despite the dyslexia.).


Jennifer Welsh Do you remember the image where he misses the glass and gets the drink for his baby sister all over the table and the floor? That’s the one where Jane got it. 😅

Barbara Oh yes, at age 2 they want to do everything by themselves. I bet it's fun watching her language develop!


Jennifer Welsh It’s making us closer, Barbara. She asked if she could come sleep over my place and have me read to her there. Swoon� 💗
